I currently own the Forces and am quite happy with them. I haven't tried the 08-09 Burton P1's so can't give you a comparision against them. I'll see if I can get on them to review them for you and give a comparision to help out. If you can get your hand on both of them in person to play with and see how both fit your boots, that would be a good first step. For me price is an issue and Forces are a good bang for the buck.

I am looking at the Union Forces and the Burton P1.1, which would you go with? I just bought a 08 burton custom and have not decided on bindings yet!

Guess depends what you are looking for. Would be sweet to get both and then whichever one you don't like as much, sell it.

I've been thinking about picking up one just to weigh bindings and boards so people have definite numbers. I'm surprised more companies don't do that. Thanks for the weights…what scale do you use?
